Yetziv Pitgam: A Piyut for Shavuot

This video presents the singing of Yetziv Pitgam, an Aramaic liturgical poem recited immediately following the chanting of the first verse of the Haftara on the second day of Shavuot in the Diaspora. It is an acrostic of the name of its author, Yaakov ben Meir Levi, identified by some to be the 12th century Talmudic luminary, Rabbenu Tam. The words of this poem express praise for God, the Torah and the Jewish people. This version, which begins one minute into the video,  is sung by Eli Green of Jewish Music Toronto, a database of Jewish music.
